“Let me appeal to one million Nigerians to put together N200 each and purchase nomination form for me to enable me actualise this ambition for the good of all.”
The price of the nomination form for PDP presidential aspirants is N12 million.
Tafida, a deputy director at Jalingo local government council in Taraba, noted that Nigerians should be wise and resist attempts by “political merchants” to continue to stifle the country’s development.

He said that if elected, he would tackle corruption and insecurity head-on by doing away with impunity, to pave way for rapid development.
The aspirant also promised to create jobs through mechanised agriculture and rapid industrialization.
“Nigerians have suffered enough; it is time to make sacrifices for a better society,” he said.
He advised the people not to bow to the current menace of vote-buying, saying that such practice could cripple the country.

Nigerians should donate 200 naira for you to get PDP ticket to our treasury to continue to loot it. PDP caused our present problem, and you want to come back to send ALL of us to graves at once, NO WAY. Tell bukula saraki to borrow you money out of the loots he hide in Panama,UK,US and other places, so you repay him after, then he will show you the way to loot and where to hide the loots. You are not serious.
